Wolken, something silly that occurred to me this last few days.
I always had trouble applying photo/patterns to my paintings because they seem off - a bit too stiff for my liking... so I tried this: I painted a small part of the pattern. Handmade, with all the wobbly lines that make my heart content. Made a pattern from that - and then applied that to my painting as it it was a photo.
It worked better overall. You may want to try that too, I think the bricks would have looked a bit more natural :)
Great job on those studies :)
